Nice deal on Millar's mill

[Weezy]

$199, down from $299. I might pick one up if I can scam up the funds.

Their shtick has been the hardened rollers (which is a good thing).

Looks interesting. Anyone have any experience with it?

I know this is my first post here, I promise its not spam. Just letting anyone that is in market for a new mill know you might want to check out the new Millar's Pilot Barley Mill. There complete Pilot kit is on sale for 199.00 plus shipping from there websit. While I do think the price is great compared to other kits, it's the new design of the hopper, the new support arms for the included bucket, the 1/2 inch triple flut shaft(better grip for drills), 7 inch long rollers with oversized bearings, and a solid uni-body housing for the rollers seem to make it a great deal. They even throw in a aluminum scoop. How well does this system work, I have no idea but I ordered the kit anyway and I will have a review hopefully with in a month(or once I drink down my current supply). For those that like to buy made in the USA, they claim to be 100 percent made in the USA. Hopefully it works out I like to support innovative companies. If anyone has experience with this model please let me know.

I just received the mill but haven't had a chance to use it yet. It seems very heavy duty and just by looking at it, I don't know why it wouldn't work well and last a long time. The hopper is even made of steel and is very sturdy. Everything breaks down and can be stored in the bucket and this is also how it was shipped. I was going to get a Monster Mill MM2 kit but this was cheaper and I liked the idea of using the rails instead of a wooden cut out for support.

Bump up to see if anybody else has experience with this mill as I'm now in the market.

 

[yeehaw_charles]

I've got one. Great mill. Very well made. Small hopper though

 

[JohnSand]

It reviews really well on Amazon. I like that it will store in it's bucket. If I ever upgrade from my corona style mill, I'll look at this.

 

[FreddyBrewger]

+1 for excellent mill. Stainless rollers, precision sealed ball bearings rather than bronze bushings, no Chinese garbage. Get it and enjoy.

 

[FreddyBrewger]

Another +1. Got it and love it. I’ve had it for 6 months now and it’s a workhorse. I keep the rollers tighter than recommended and consistently get a high efficiency with my crush on a Grainfather. Worth the money, it’s legit.

 

[JohnSand]

I bought one with Christmas money and love it too.

 

[Tony_nc]

What has happened to Millars Mills? I can only find them on Amazon.

 

[JohnSand]

I don't know. If you search this forum, I think I remember reading of some delays.

 

[LeeH]

When I emailed him he said he still sold them but was having issues with the site.

 

[JohnSand]

Glad to hear it. I still love mine.

 

[schmartz]

Looks like he let the domain expire and a squatter is sitting on it. A friend has one of these mills and loves it.

 

[vladaszilius]

Hey guys. Quick question. I just bought It and looks good. Do you know where can I get a bucket? Because I was looking can’t find it... Btw I’m from Ireland. Thank you

[JohnSand]

Welcome aboard, congratulations on your new mill!
I suspect the bucket is a standard size. The mill will fit less than perfectly on a round bucket too. Or you could probably make a base for it pretty easily.

That's what I'm using at the moment. But maybe you know where can I get the original Millar's bucket?

 

[JohnSand]

I don't. Perhaps you can posted a "wanted" here on HBT. Some owners probably have mounted the mill and can spare the bucket.
